This research investigates the effect of the antecedents (i.e. specific investment, opportunistic behavior, communications, uncertainty, interdependence, power imbalance, shared value, and flexibility) that influence the trust and commitment of domestic apparel manufacturers toward contractors as well as the effect of trust and commitment on firm performance and relationship satisfaction. A total of 128 apparel manufactures participated in this study. Factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and path analysis were conducted for the statistical analysis. Specific investment, communication, shared value, and flexibility had a positive effect on trust; however, opportunistic behavior had a negative effect. Interdependence, shared value, and flexibility had a positive effect on commitment; however, power imbalance and uncertainty had a negative effect. Trust did not exert an effect on commitment in this research; however, trust and commitment had a positive effect on firm performance; in addition, trust and commitment had a positive effect on relationship satisfaction. The findings offer insight on how to better manage apparel manufacturer-contractor relationships to ensure success.

The current study aims to investigate the relationship between CSRD and firm performance, as an indicator for corporate socially responsible behavior, and corporate market performance of listed companies on the Amman stock exchange (ASE). The study adopts a quantitative methodology and utilizes pooled data sets that was collected following content analysis approach of the annual reports for the period 2014 to 2019. The study sample consists of 42 listed companies. The study ran a multiple regression model in order to capture the relationship between the independent variable CSRD and the dependent variable that is Firm performance which was measured using Tobin's Q. The study also utilized five control variables in order to control the hypothesized relationship between CSRD and Firm Performance. The results indicate a negative but significant relationship between CSRD and corporate market performance measured by Tobin's Q. The results stand against the notion of the business case for CSR, and indicate the opposite position, so, the higher CSRD, the lower will be Tobin's Q. Such results support the notion of the institutional theory, and provide an initial evidence for legitimacy seeking behavior in Jordanian companies. However, the results indicate a lower level of awareness of CSR across investors and market players, which support arguments of the difference in market perceptions towards CSR.

This paper investigated the relationship between corporate governance mechanisms and firm performance in Vietnam. Based on a dataset of 101 HOSE-listed manufacturing firms, the results showed that CEOs' knowledge capability, gender diversity, and board size are positively associated with firm performance, whereas firm age is negatively associated. These findings suggested that firms should consider enlarging the boardrooms, but to a certain extent to avoid an inverse-U-shaped decline of performance; furthermore, firms should promote women executives' presence in a boardroom for it brings greater cultural-diversity benefits and inhibits information asymmetry. Contrary, the aging process impedes firms' growth. It depreciates their values in terms of total assets, so managers must review their assets' net value after each working year to avoid such a hardship. However, the thesis constrains itself since it did not treat the TMTs' knowledge capability equally as the CEOs' and completely excluded their treatment. Besides, it did not regard the effect of external governance mechanisms such as the supply-demand relationship, customer behavior, market imperfections, and market concentration due to data unavailability. Based on the main findings, several suggestions are set forth for firms and managers to enhance performance and minimize a poor governance mechanism's adverse consequence.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to classify KOSPI listed companies according to their organizational character type based on MBTI. Design/methodology/approach - This study collected 109,989 reviews from an online firm review website, Jobplanet. Using these reviews and the descriptions about organizational character, we conducted document similarity analysis. Doc2Vec technique was hired for the analysis. Findings - First, there are more companies belonging to Extraversion(E), Intuition(N), Feeling(F), and Judging(J) than Introversion(I), Sensing(S), Thinking(T), and Perceiving(P) as organizational character types of MBTI. Second, more companies have EJ and EP as the behavior type and NT and NF as the decision-making type. Third, the top-3 organizational character type of which firms have among 16 types are ENTJ, ENFP, and ENFJ. Finally, companies belonging to the same industry group were found to have similar organizational character. Research implications or Originality - This study provides a noble way to measure organizational character type using firm review big data and document similarity analysis technique. The research results can be practically used for firms in their organizational diagnosis and organizational management, and are meaningful as a basic study for various future studies to empirically analyze the impact of organizational character.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of split ratings on earnings management through cost adjustments based on asymmetric cost behaviors. Using a sample of 2,027 Korean firm-year observations over the 2002-2019 period, we analyze whether a firm deliberately reduces discretionary costs, such as selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses, to improve profits when it receives multiple ratings from credit rating agencies (CRAs). While examining earnings management incentives in the presence of split ratings, we also investigate the moderating effects of Chaebols, Korea's unique corporate governance structure. We find that split-rating firms show less stickiness in SG&A costs compared to non-split-rating firms when sales decrease. This result implies the deliberate reduction of discretionary costs to improve earnings in the presence of split ratings, which are more likely to change in future credit assessments. We also find that the incentives for earnings management of split-rating firms are limited in Chaebol firms, which have high levels of socio-economic surveillance and support affiliated firms through the internal market of corporate groups. This study contributes to existing research by identifying new determinants of cost behavior by using the framework of asymmetric cost behavior in relation to earnings management incentives.

According to Resource Dependence theory, an organization's behavior and strategy is affected by external resources. An organization has diverse resources interacting with environment. Because organization cannot focus on all those resources, it concentrates on its critical resources. In market environment, firm responds to other firms by controlling their internal critical resources or manages interdependency with environment to get market share. Thus Firm should choose best behavior and strategy when internal and external resources are change. When new brand enters, incumbents might change their strategy to protect their market share depending on critical value. More precisely, incumbents sharing market with entrant respond, but incumbents having competitive internal resources do not. In this article, we study incumbent's responses to a new brand entry and long-term effect. We show that how incumbents change their price strategy in reaction to the new brand' entry and also show these responses vary depending on interdependency of internal resources and external environments and ownership.

본 논문에서는 환헤지가 기업가치에 미치는 직접적인 영향을 실증분석한다. 2000~2008년 기간의 환변동보험 데이터를 이용하며 종속변수로는 Tobin's Q, 설명변수로는 환헤지 대용변수를 사용하는 패널분석모형을 설계하였다. 패널자료의 특성을 반영할 수 있도록 샘플기업의 헤징행태(hedging behavior)의 변화에 주목하였으며, 환헤지 더미, 환헤지비율 두 변수를 헤징대용변수로 각각 사용하였다. 실증분석 결과, 유가증권시장에 상장된 기업 중 환변동보험에 가입한 기업의 경우 환헤지가 기업가치에 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다. 환헤지를 하는 경우가 환헤지를 하지 않는 경우에 비하여 기업가치를 7.4% 높이는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 환헤지로 인한 헤징프리미엄이 7.4%라는 것을 의미한다. 그리고 환헤지비율이 높을수록 기업가치는 제고되는 것으로 나타났다. 기타 통제변수들인 기업규모, 수익성, 부채비율 등도 기업가치에 긍정적인 결과를 나타내었다. 본 논문의 의의는 학술적으로 환헤지의 경제적 효과를 직접 실증분석하였다는 점이다. 지금까지 헤징과 기업가치간의 관계를 직접 실증한 국내 연구문헌은 찾을 수 없었다. 기업경영 면에서는 기업가치 제고를 위한 최적 헤징전략이 존재하며, 회사 실정에 맞는 헤징정책이 필요하다는 점을 발견하였다. 정책적으로는 환변동보험의 활성화 필요성을 제기하였다. 정보비대칭으로 인해 시장을 통한 환리스크 관리가 쉽지 않은 중소수출기업들이 환변동보험을 보다 쉽고 공정하게 활용할 수 있어야 한다.

본 연구는 소유와 경영이 철저히 분리되어 있지 않아 지배주주일가가 존재하는 기업이 대다수인 한국기업의 상황에서, 가족임원의 효과에 대해 고찰한다. 가족임원은 기업과 자신을 동일시하고 후손에게 기업을 물려주고자 하는 가족경영자와 일맥상통하는 특성을 가진다. 이와 같이 기업의 장기적 생존과 번영을 중요시하는 가족임원이 이사회 내에 존재한다는 것은 기업의 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 것이다. 한편, 이사회와 대비하여 최고경영자의 측면에서, 전문경영자는 경영능력의 전문성을 장점으로 하지만 사적인 이익의 추구 가능성이라는 단점을 동시에 가지고 있다. 그러나, 이사회 내에 가족임원이 존재하고 있다면 이들이 전문경영자에 대한 원활한 견제의 기능을 가지게 됨으로써 사적 이익 추구라는 단점은 해소되고 경영능력의 전문성이라는 장점을 바탕으로 기업성과에 대해 가족임원이 주는 긍정적인 효과를 더욱 강화시키는 효과를 가질 것이다. 이상의 연구 주제를 2004년부터 2010년까지의 7개년도 firm-year 2,456개의 panel data를 통해 실증하였고, 가설들이 모두 지지되었다.

Purpose - This paper investigates whether managerial overconfidence is associated with firm-specific crash risk. Overconfidence leads managers to overestimate the returns of their investment projects, and misperceive negative net present value projects as value creating. They even use voluntary disclosures to convey their optimistic beliefs about the firms' long-term prospects to the stock market. Thus, the overconfidence bias can lead to managerial bad news hoarding behavior. When bad news accumulates and crosses some tipping point, it will come out all at once, resulting in a stock price crash. Research design, data and methodology - 7,385 firm-years used for the main analysis are from the KIS Value database between 2006 and 2013. This database covers KOSPI-listed and KOSDAQ-listed firms in Korea. The proxy for overconfidence is based on excess investment in assets. A residual from the regression of total asset growth on sales growth run by industry-year is used as an independent variable. If a firm has at least one crash week during a year, it is referred to as a high crash risk firm. The dependant variable is a dummy variable that equals 1 if a firm is a high crash risk firm, and zero otherwise. After explaining the relationship between managerial overconfidence and crash risk, the total sample was divided into two sub-samples; chaebol firms and non-chaebol firms. The relation between how I overconfidence and crash risk varies with business group affiliation was investigated. Results - The results showed that managerial overconfidence is positively related to crash risk. Specifically, the coefficient of OVERC is significantly positive, supporting the prediction. The results are strong and robust in non-chaebol firms. Conclusions - The results show that firms with overconfident managers are likely to experience stock price crashes. This study is related to past literature that examines the impact of managerial overconfidence on the stock market. This study contributes to the literature by examining whether overconfidence can explain a firm's future crashes.
